A Henderson, Texas Woman is in Jail After Burning Her Dogs, Calling Son ‘the devil’

(Henderson, Texas) - We love our pets. I still miss my black lab, Buddy, who passed away about 6 years ago. I had so many memories with him that it's hard to forget our time together. I could not imagine him having to go through what a Henderson woman did to their family dogs.

These are stories that we hate to write about here. Unfortunately, bad things happen. This case is so bad that you really feel pity for this woman and pray that she can exercise whatever "demons" she's battling right now.
